NOTE: If nails continue to jam frequently in the nose piece, contact BOSCH service center for repair.

Nail Indicator

The red indicator bar is used to show when the tool needs to be reloaded, figure 8. When the tool is loaded with a nail strip, the red indicator bar will no longer be visible in the indicator window. As the nail strip is comsumed, the red indicator bar will start to become visible. The tool may be reloaded when the red indicator bar is half way exposed in the indicator window.
